Kale With Mushrooms Onions Garlic And Herbs Recipe

Ingredients

How to make it

  • Cook brown rice.
  • Chop the garlic and onion until medium-fine.
  • Saute in large covered pan (without cover) in about a Tablespoon of butter and a bit of olive oil until starting to get golden.
  • Add chopped herbs and salt and fresh-ground pepper to taste.
  • Add mushrooms and saute, stirring occasionally, until nicely browned.
  • Add a splash of sake to deglaze pan.
  • Add some stock (see note), reduce heat slightly, add kale, and cover.
  • Continue cooking until kale is getting soft.
  • Uncover and stir in a little cornstarch dissolved in water, and stir and heat until the remaining juices have thickened to roughly the consistency of gravy.
  • Serve in a bowl over brown rice. Grate fresh parmesan on top, if desired.
  • Note: I discovered, to my chagrin, that I didn't HAVE any stock when I looked in my freezer (I usually make my own, and I've submitted my typical homemade stock recipe) -- AND when I looked in my cupboard! But I do keep veggie bouillon cubes around for such emergencies. I am sort of fanatic about the freshness of my stock, so this is what I did. I put about 2 cups of filtered water into a saucepan and started boiling it. I added the bouillon cube. Then I threw in the scraps of the onion (the ends, including the peel and all) and a couple extra pieces of it, some scraps of red bell pepper, two chopped carrots, some Italian parsley, a little pepper (there's plenty of salt in the bouillon), and the mushroom stems. I kept it simmering until I was ready to add the stock to the pan, then just strained the stock right in. Voila! (This little trick is what I call faker's homemade stock.)

    It is so hard to find recipes for fresh greens and less common vegetables. This does sound good! And being healthy gives it an added bonus!
